“This is nonstop baby you’ve got me going crazy you’re heavier than I knew but I don’t want no other you’re my cameo lover only here for a moment or two you stay inside that bubble with all of your trouble in your black hole you turn from the skies you dance with your demise I’ll be here when you come home, home

We’ve all gotta break down let me come and break down, there with you

Cause everyday’s like talking in your sleep love is like a silhouette in dreams open up your heart! Open up your heart! Open up your heart and let me pull you out everyday’s like talking in your sleep love is like a silhouette in dreams open up your heart! Open up your heart!

I’ve got high hopes baby but all you do is take me down to depths that I never knew you’ve got two arms baby they’re all tangled in ladies of the black skies posing blue let go of your mother and turn to your brother not a long gone lover’s noose sometimes baby the hardest part of breaking is leaving pieces behind you

Open up your heart and let me pull you out everyday’s like talking in your sleep love is like a silhouette in dreams open up your heart! Open up your heart!

Open up your heart to me the sun won’t shine if you’re not looking baby love is all that you need

When everyday’s like talking in your sleep love is like a silhouette in dreams open up your heart! Open, open, open…

Everyday’s like talking in your sleep love is like a silhouette in dreams open up your heart! Open up your heart! Open up your heart and let me pull you out

Open up your heart! Open up your heart! Open up your heart! Open up your heart! Open up your heart! Open up your heart!”.

“Cameo Lover is a song by New Zealand singer-songwriter and guitarist Kimbra from her debut studio album, Vows. The song was released in New Zealand and Australia as the album’s second single on 29 March 2011. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2011 Kimbra won ‘Best Female Artist’ for the single, and it was nominated for ‘Best Video’. The song, written by Kimbra, was nominated for ‘Song of the Year’ at the 2012 APRA Music Awards. On 15 July 2011, the song won the 2011 Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition. Earlier that year, Gotye had first noticed Kimbra when both were short-listed as finalists for the competition. Gotye subsequently invited Kimbra to feature as the lead female vocalist on his recording of “Somebody That I Used to Know“. The song was free on iTunes for the week of 22 May 2012. The official music video for “Cameo Lover” was posted on Kimbra‘s YouTube channel on 25 April 2011. The video run time is 3 minutes 58 seconds. In the video, Kimbra is on a white set, wearing a pink dress, and facing five men in desks all wearing black tuxedos and black blindfolds. As the chorus comes in, young girls appear with Kimbra, all playing tambourines, and it shows that the tuxedos, blindfolds, and nails of the men begin to change into bright colours of the rainbow as the music continues. But the man in the middle, who is supposed to be Kimbra’s “cameo lover,” does not change colours until later on in the song, as the men next to him encourage him by lip syncing and hitting their desks to the beat. As the set goes dark, the two girls from Kimbra‘s “Settle Down” music video join her, dressed in blue, they lip sync with Kimbra and begin to play tambourines as all the other girls. In the end, confetti falls around the girls and Kimbra as the songs begins to end and they dance around happily. The men in the desks all change colours of their suits, and the man in the middle takes off his blindfold revealing his blue eyes to Kimbra“.
